All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."</i> Certainly Catholics believe in the Bible (Catholics put together the Bible!) but this verse does not really support the belief of Sola Scriptura; it does not say <b>that scripture alone is an adequate guide to the faith</b> For that matter, the whole Bible does not say <b>that we should believe in the Bible alone,</b> nor does it say which books are inspired by God. This is only one hole in the belief of Sola Scriptura; there are many more.

Christians should be prepared for said sufferings; however, there have been times in the past when tribulations came as a result of Christians influencing society and government for the good of all. Being "salt and light" is not limited to one aspect of life in this world, but all aspects including government. Persecution indeed will come.
